Shinja-Kai Karate prides itself on offering a training environment that is family oriented and friendly, whilst maintaining the highest standards of professionalism.

Our training covers the areas of:

Basics - punches, kicks, blocks and stances.

Kata or Forms - choreographed movements that incorporate the above basics.

Sparring - touch contact sparring at the lower levels, progressively moving to higher levels of contact as skill levels increase.

Self Defence - Self-defence techniques against unarmed and armed aggressors.

Throws, Rolls and Breakfalls - a combination of techniques, essential to self defence and sparring.

Joint Locking and Choking techniques - the effective application of these techniques can quickly bring an attacker under control.

This breadth of training ensures that those that study karate with Shinja-Kai, have a well rounded appreciation and knowledge of all aspects of karate.

Classes are held at Woodside Institute Hall on Mondays and Thursdays at 6.30pm

Our minimum age to commence training is 8 years old.
